Crystal webinar a sail-away success

Crystal webinar a sail-away success

Unless you literally never open any emails from Travel Weekly, then you’ll know we hosted our very first live webinar yesterday, and it was a raging success if we do say so ourselves.

Our fab magazine Editor Tara Harrison got cosy on the couch and had a chat with cruising doyenne Karen Christensen, Crystal’s Senior Vice President & Managing Director.

The pair had an informative and entertaining chat about all things Crystal, with an exciting update on the new Crystal, where ‘All Inclusive’ is ‘All Exclusive’.

If you missed it, you can catch up right here or on our YouTube channel.

The clip has had 156 views and 15 likes in the past 19 hours, plus stacks of you all entering to score that special little codeword.

For those of you who might’ve missed the codeword – which gives you the chance to win a luxe Crystal cruise for two when you email it to competition@themisfits.media – you’ll find that in the video too. In fact, a rather handsome butler helped reveal it, so that’s worth a peek anyway!

And now for some of our glowing testimonials, which have been flooding in following the webinar.

– “Fantastic webinar and informative session introducing ‘The New Crystal'” – Megan Hutton from Spencer Travel Southside
